Job summary

At St George's Hospital, no two nights are ever quite the same. As an Advanced Clinical Practitioner within our ENT, Maxillofacial and Plastics team, you'll play a key role in assessing and managing complex surgical cases in a supportive and collaborative environment.

Your shift might begin with a patient arriving via air ambulance with facial trauma, or a potential airway emergency presenting in ED.

As one of our ACPs, you'll take the lead on assessments, request urgent imaging, and carry out minor surgical procedures. You'll make independent clinical decisions and prescribe treatment with the support of a wider multidisciplinary team.

Working alongside you are two other experienced ACPs, each covering their own specialty. You'll share knowledge, provide mutual support, and hand over as a team at the end of your shift.

This role offers variety, challenge and the chance to work at the top of your scope. From minor procedures to major trauma, you'll develop your clinical expertise in a team that values innovation, professional growth, and high-quality patient care.

• Completed your MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice
• Hold a non-medical prescribing qualification
• Be confident in requesting and interpreting diagnostics as well as performing clinical procedures within your scope

Please note: To be considered for this role, you must have experience working in an ED or as a Nurse Practitioner, or paramedic with exposure to acute surgical patients. While this is a night-shift position, your first six months will be spent working alongside the doctors during daytime hours as part of your induction and training period.

What makes this role different?

Variety

• You'll be the first to assess patients referred overnight -- from airway emergencies to complex trauma. You'll make clinical decisions, carry out interventions, and work closely with on-call team

Cutting-edge environment

• As one of London's largest teaching hospitals and a regional specialist centre, we treat some of the most complex cases in the region. We have a helipad, hyper-acute stroke and cardiac services, and are one of the city's four major trauma centres.

We know starting a new role at a new hospital can feel daunting, but from day one, you'll be fully supported. That support goes beyond your day-to-day responsibilities. We're committed to your development, and open to new ideas.
